Ah... it's not too bad in Fort Worth... mostly. The video I posted above is also in Fort Worth, from the westside to the southside. Bud and I have met while commuting once or twice.

Bud's spot is kinda bad, made worse by the fact that he's on a recumbent. I think it might be a little easier to navigate that intersection on a diamond frame.
